Assessment of Safety, Efficacy, and Functional Outcomes After Rotator Cuff Repair Using Ceptre® Titanium Screw Anchor: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background Rotator cuff tears (RCTs) are the most common cause of shoulder disability. RCT is characterized by progressive wear and tear of the tendon tissue over time. The incidence of cuff tears ranges from 5% to 39%. With increasing advancements in the surgical sector, an upward trend has been observed in repair surgeries where torn tendons are repaired arthroscopically by inserting surgical implants. With this background, this study aimed to assess the safety, efficacy, and functional outcomes after RCT repair using Ceptre® titanium screw anchor implants. Methodology This retrospective, observational, single-center, clinical study was conducted at Epic Hospital in Gujarat, India. Patients who underwent rotator cuff repair surgery between January 2019 and July 2022 were recruited and followed up in December 2022. Baseline characteristics and surgical and post-surgical details were collected from patient medical reports and post-surgery progress data were documented through telephonic follow-up. The functional outcomes and efficacy of the implant were assessed using the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) form, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) score, Simple Shoulder Test (SST), and Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) score. Results The mean age of the recruited patients was 59.74 ± 8.91 years. Among the recruited patients, 64% were females and 36% were males. About 85% of patients had a right shoulder injury and 15% of patients (n = 6/39) had a left shoulder injury. Further, 64% (n = 25/39) of patients had supraspinatus tears, whereas 36% (n = 14) of patients had both supraspinatus and infraspinatus tears. The mean ASES, SPADI, SST, and SANE scores were observed to be 81.43 ± 14.20, 29.41 ± 12.6, 75.41 ± 12.96, and 94.67 ± 7.50, respectively. No adverse events, re-injuries, or re-surgeries were reported by any of the patients during the study period. Conclusions Our findings suggest that arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using Ceptre Knotted Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene Suture Titanium Screw Anchor resulted in favorable functional outcomes. Thus, it could be a considerable implant for a successful surgery.
